CANVEY Island are 90 minutes away from an FA Cup clash with former winners Preston North End – while rivals Concord Rangers will travel to League Two outfit Mansfield Town.
Canvey were made to wait in the first round draw live on the BBC last night but it was worth it, with League One's 2nd placed side set to visit the Prospects Stadium – if the Gulls get the better of Havant & Waterlooville tonight.
Canvey boss Danny Heale says there is “even more pressure” on his men in tonight's replay after drawing Preston.
Concord boss Danny Cowley, meanwhile, was delighted with his side's draw.
He said: "It is the first time Concord Rangers will ever play a Football League club and we are all every excited."
